Default Accord 1998 Rear Brake Pads

I changed the front brake pads, and now want to change the rear brake pads. I con not push the cilinder back to make the neccessary space for the new pads.
Your help will be appreciated.

Welcome.

You can't push the rear piston in like you do on the front, it has to be rotated in. This can be accomplished with a few different things...they make custom little adapters that can be bought at local auto parts store, or you can use a large flathead screwdriver, prybar, etc.
